Who can report actual mpg from a 2017 Ecoboost, 2017 F250 6.7 PS, and 2015+ Duramax?

My 13' and 16' Dmax get less than 10 towing something heavy over the passes, about 12-14 towing my ski boat in mixed use, about 14 running around town, and I have gotten just over 22 unloaded running down the highway with a pass in the middle of the trip.  Stops and starts kill milage on a big truck and a heavy foot doesn't help.

Just search Fuelly.com

2017 Ecoboost.  45 vehicles and 125,000 miles the average is 15.7 MPG.

2017 F250 PowerStroke.  24 vehicles and 85,000 miles the average is 14.6 MPG.  FLT just did a test towing 12,000 pounds in a enclosed trailer, and they got 10 MPG.

Duramax looks to be 14 - 15 MPG.

Cummins is 15 - 16 MPG.

And if you are comparing costs, remember that Ford recommends premium when towing with the EcoBoost.  GM recommends premium with the 6.2.  That will increase costs quite a bit.  I just pulled my boat 1000 miles with my Yukon XL Denali.  Premium was always at least $0.30 more per gallon than diesel (or regular unleaded).
